    First you need an SPI programmer to read the BIOS chip content then save a copy to a safe place...here is a video for example..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWWi...nnel=ThisIsHow
    Second patch it with RC Unlocker or if you fail somebody will patch the content for you, put the content in a zip file and upload here.
    Write the patched content to your chip.
    That's all.
    P.S. Find a chip which has 128 in the name and that's your BIOS chip

      No need to dump the bios. On this model the password can actually be reset with a little trick.

      Just follw the guy in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc4lIC-EsaE
      He does it on an 820 G1, but this also works on the 640 G1. I' ve tried it myself and was successful.

        That's new to me...on which other models did you tried successfully this method ?
        I used this method (shorting clock and data) only on ancient laptops BIOS chips...almost forget about it...
        P.S.
        The provided serial by KALEEM359 is not correct...probably on X360 1040 G11 your method will not work )

            I've only tried it once on the Probook 640 G1, and it definitely works on this model. Piece of cake.

                Hello,šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡
                I need help unlocking the BIOS password on my HP ProBook 11 G2 laptop.

                šŸ“¦ Serial Number: 8CG72478MY
                šŸ†” UUID: 6F5ED686-5532-11E7-A2E2-911C6404E011
                šŸ”’ BIOS Status: Locked with password

                The laptop is no longer under warranty and HP refused to help me.
                I’m looking for a custom SMC.bin file.

                I don't have a CH341A programmer, so it's difficult for me to provide a BIOS file.

                Thanks a lot for your help!šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™...

                Asus BIOS How To Reset To Default Settings?
                by YG007
                Hello... Where do I start. I have 2 questions/scenarios that might bring this laptop back to life, so here it goes!

                I have this laptop (Asus UX52VS) where I was flashing the BIOS to it and it froze during the process. I didn't have a reliable BIOS chip programmer at the time (It was a CH341A USB Programmer from Amazon where it took hours just to get the clamp on the chip and then every time I read, it gave me different results/corruption, and never would pass the verify test as no 2 reads were the same data), so I brought it to a shop. They had it for almost 2 months, but during...

                by noobart
                Is the only way to resest/delete the BIOS passwort removing and reprogramming the bios chip? Or is there any other easier method?
